It's entirely possible that I harvested a second, but it's been so long that I don't remember. I just figured that since I saved the majority of them, I'd be ok. Apparently, Bioshock's morality system is more evolved than Ultima's.Mocmocman said:

Red Dead Redemption. Totally made sense in regards to the story and it was profound and a great ending, but WHY!??
I grew attached to this man with a horrible hat, and random scar. NO! I don't want to play as his Son, why couldn't i have made a choice to let the bear eat him and then shag the wife to make another!?
Also Borderlands. No Vault? Really? Thanks. It actually irked me so bad that i haven't touched 2 much due to the fact that i'm waiting for Gearbox to do that again. Not that 2 is bad, its just... boring so far is all. I should finish it though. I might grind it out pretty quickly just to get to the end to cock-slap Handsome Jack.

I think it would be easier for him to trick you. If you knew he was controlling you you probably would rebel and be much more stubborn and difficult than if you believed that you were avenging his wife and child. And he did use a lot of Would You Kindlys (very noticeable after I started a second play through) ,but he never was too obvious about it. At least, that's my two cents.

I practically knew that was going to happen the moment I saw the title, I knew it was happening, but did you have to make it so damn tragic? WHY DID YOU DO THIS GADFFAT!

To play the devil's advocate, just how many killed children does it take to become truly evil from your point of view? The endings weren't very good, but I kinda liked the radical approach.IanDavis said:
And I agree with the OP about Last of Us. From a storytelling view it is a great ending, but I mostly just felt bitter and upset. Still, I think I'm glad that Naughty Dog went with an ambigious ending, since you don't see many of those.
For as much as I think its an amazing game, the ending to Persona 3 killed any desire I had to ever play it again. I know a fair portion of this site seems to have a hard on for dark/bittersweet endings, but personally I can't stand it when at the end instead of a sense of triumph I just get stuck with a bad case of the sads (see also: ME3, halo 3 until 4 came along, Red Dead Redemption, ect.).
Wild Arms 1: Specifically Cecilia's choice to join Rudy and Jack on their adventures.It wouldn't be too bad except that her kingdom is trying to rebuild after the games events and need her presence to help morale and make decisions. stop relying on that chancellor to do your job.Plus she's already had a big adventure.It's time to step up sweetheart and take responsibility not go have fun with your friends.
Agreed. I'd like it to be possible to switch back to John for roaming the gameworld after Jack's "true ending". On the other hand... I think it exacerbates the feeling of loss. You grow attached to the character, want him to get his happy ending, then the attack happens, and then... He's dead, and he's not coming back. I hated playing as Jack - and actually didn't finish all the little odds & ends I wanted to do in endgame - but it might have been intentional.Kyr Knightbane said:

Basically, there comes the choice of whether to activate the RSI, potentially curing all people in the world of the disease (which conduits are immune to) but also killing all current conduits, or joining the Beast to help in awakening the conduit gene in the populace, curing the plague in those individuals, but killing the rest.
Now I chose the latter, because in my mind, the conduits are the superior people. In choosing the 'good' ending, you're essentially halting humanity's evolution, at least for the foreseeable future. It feels wrong just to kill off the stronger beings just to keep the inferior populace in the status quo.
I should point out that I'm a Magneto supporter, in case that wasn't already apparent.
(don't worry, I support the Homo Superior cause too)OT: I've never really had a good ending I didn't like, though there were some that did leave me feeling unfulfilled such as L.A.Noire, Assassins Creed 2, the first Portal. And I wasn't impressed that to get Norman Jaydens "Good" ending in Heavy Rain you need to fail his part of the investigation.
You realize that Magneto might as well call his team of mutants "Team Hitlers Nazis" right? Also, Second Son completely invalidates the evil ending as being morally ambiguous seeing as it takes the good ending as canon and yet we STILL have conduits, arising naturally without massive genocide.King of Asgaard said:Infamous 2's good ending really rubbed me the wrong way.

Although given how cartoonishly intolerant and outright fucking stupid most non-mutants are in X-Men I suppose in that case magneto would have a point. Seriously, not that I think about it, why would there be so much fear regarding mutants? The only reason I can think of is jealousy. Normal people are all jealous THEY don't have cool superpowers. Eye lasers? Fuck yeah I want some eye lasers!
Unless you end up like that asian porcupine guy from the X3 movie. Seriously, his power revolved around his ability to trick people into hugging him.
I wasn't aware that wanting the best for the human race was something the Nazis did.Syzygy23 said:You realize that Magneto might as well call his team of mutants "Team Hitler's Nazis" right?King of Asgaard said:Infamous 2's good ending really rubbed me the wrong way.

As of time of writing, Second Son is not out, so the franchise is limited to two games. Thus, the merits of the endings should be taken on their own. As of Infamous 2's ending, the possibilities are either eliminate the stronger to keep the weaker alive, or to eliminate weaker to keep the stronger alive. No more, no less, and under those circumstances, the latter seems more morally just to me.
Crash Team Racing where you see the entire team of Naughty Dog, including the dog!
After that, their contract with universal studios pretty much ended and their commitment to the Crash Bandicoot series ended where it crashed and burned being done by mostly failures. Sad ending

Spoiler tags, dude. They're a lot easier than saying SPOILERS! Because you have to read around the freaking spoilers, which could still result in reading the spoilers. >>
This is pretty much what I came in here to say. So I'll just echo this.Raine_sage said:

Lets not forget that the RSI might cure the people from the plague, but you don't know that for sure. So it was a choice between committing genocide on the conduits so the rest of the humans might be cured or committing genocide on the normal humans to create as many conduits as possible that you know for sure will survive. A good twist to the infamous 2 ending would have been that the RSI kills the conduits but fails to cure people from the plague.
EDIT: It turns out I should read the first comment before just jumping on in thinking I know what the title means.
Earth 2160. Heroes fight off evil alien threat. Ending cutscene has a view with idyllic planet and a giant stargate/portal thing in orbit. It begins to activate -> cut to credits.
Wanna know what comes out of the portal? Well, sucks to be you because the hinted sequel never came.
You can do that "the end?" shit with certain campy stories where you know that the hero is going to get the girl and everyone who isn't evil survives, ye olde adventure serials or something like that.
But tacking on a hint to a sequel that never comes should be prohibited by law.
Developers should also stop with the moral choice system, especially if it has two options. Both ways are either overdone, so you end up with a protagonist that makes mother theresa look evil by comparison or giving adolf hitler a run for his money.
Or the dual choice ends up with two characters that aren't really characters at all but merely surfaces on which to stick either the "good" or "evil" sticker. I kinda like some endings that are made that way if there where certain quests in the game that i wanted to do without thinking if it would give me karma points or something. Fallout 3 is better then Dishonored in that respect. I beat Dishonored then i beat it again with "low chaos" where some of the criteria to reach seem a little odd.
And then i get a bland ending either way. Bleh.
